The places from this trip
- Keri CavesPrivate boat to the sea caves: €70 per couple per hour. Very special, but the boat is small — they stopped after an hour instead of the recommended two.
- Mizithres ViewClifftop lookout over the Mizithres sea stacks — one of the island's best views.
- Limnionas BeachRocky cove where cliffs meet the sea — the color of the water is insane.
- Windmill Taverna CafeTerrace with a view of the sea and Marathonisi; food (Greek salad, zucchini balls, cheese pastry) is average — come for the view.
- Gerakas BeachStunning cliff-backed beach with incredibly clear water; sea turtles nest here, though she didn't spot any.
- Patisserie VerikiosAmong the tastiest desserts she's ever had — try the caramel-banana cream, the Kinder Bueno cake or the strawberry-vanilla tart.
- The Old Windmill RestaurantOrder the whole cauliflower with tahini and pomegranate, cheese-filled filo with honey, grilled halloumi and the mushroom-onion jam burger.
- Porto Azzuro Beach BarIncredibly clear shallow water with a rock arch to swim by — bring water shoes, the beach is pebbly.
- Turtle Spot ZakynthosTip the local fisherman and he feeds the loggerhead turtles, so you see them right at the surface.
- KantouniOrder the fried local cheese, Greek salad and rice-stuffed tomatoes — dessert comes on the house.
- Xigia Pelagaki BeachSmall pebbly cove with sunbeds and straw umbrellas under a green hillside.
- Navagio BeachView the shipwreck cove from the clifftop viewpoint; great spot for sunset through the pines.
- Makris Gialos BeachSmall pebble beach with clear water and straw umbrellas — 'another dreamy beach'.
- Lookout Point ZakynthosPanoramic view over Zakynthos Town and the bay — you can drive right up to it.
- Zakynthos Turtle Rescue CenterRight next to Gerakas Beach and entry is free — injured sea turtles are rehabilitated here.
- Xigia BeachSmall turquoise cove with sunbeds — be ready for a long staircase down from the road.
- דירת נופש עם בריכה פרטית, קרי3 nights here: insane view of Marathonisi (Turtle Island) and a private pool, but it's two floors, far from town (car needed) and curtains let in strong morning light.
- Bochali ViewpointPanoramic lookout over Zakynthos Town, the harbour and the turquoise bay.
- Taverna TriodiRecommended taverna: local bread with dips, avocado-parmesan salad, baked feta with grilled veg and giant beans in tomato sauce.
- Cameo Island€5 entry to cross the wooden bridge, includes a keychain photo — nice but you can skip it.
- Porto LimnionasGorgeous cove but you climb down stairs and enter the water over rocks — she skipped the swim.
- Casa Playa Banana BeachThatched umbrellas and sunbeds by the sea — she only stopped to look but it looks stunning.
